Harvey Mudd Student Fly-Ins
Are your students Future Achievers in Science and Technology?
Harvey Mudd College is one of the premier engineering, science, and mathematics colleges in the United States, and we'd like to encourage high-achieving, college-bound high school seniors to apply for our all-expenses-paid overnight fall fly-in program. The FAST Program will have a strong emphasis on the experiences of communities that are historically excluded from STEM, including, but not limited to, women, Black, Indigenous, or Latinx, students from low-income backgrounds, rural backgrounds, students with disabilities, and students who are first-generation to college.
FAST covers travel expenses, meals, and lodging throughout the duration of the program and encourages students to interact with other STEM-minded students from across the country. FAST also provides students with an inside look into the highly selective admissions process through engagement with our admission staff, current Mudders, and distinguished faculty. Please note that the program is currently open to high school seniors who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents, living in the United States and its territories.
FAST 2024 will take place on the following dates:
- FAST I - Sunday, September 22 - Tuesday, September 24
- FAST II - Sunday, October 27 - Tuesday, October 29
